Mid-Level | AmLaw 100

Our AmLaw 100 client is on the hunt for a standout associate with 3–5 years of experience in data, privacy, and cybersecurity to join a high-impact transactional team.

This isn’t a back-office advisory role. You’ll be on the front lines of headline-making M&A deals, IPOs, and strategic tech transactions across industries like AI/ML, cloud computing, fintech, and enterprise software. If you’ve been craving deal flow with cutting-edge clients and the chance to sit at the intersection of data regulation and innovation, this is it.

What You’ll Do:

  • Advise on the full spectrum of privacy, data processing, and cybersecurity issues in complex corporate and technology transactions.

  • Support M&A, capital markets, and commercial deals from diligence to close, providing strategic counsel to public and private companies.

  • Work cross-functionally with top-tier attorneys across practices.

You Bring:

  • 3–5 years of experience in M&A, tech transactions, capital markets, or other deal-focused work.

  • A strong understanding of privacy and cybersecurity frameworks (CIPP certification is a plus).

  • Familiarity with the regulatory landscape and enforcement trends.

  • Excellent academic credentials and sharp interpersonal and drafting skills.

Location Flexibility:
Offices available in Washington DC, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Austin, Boston, Century City, Los Angeles, New York, San Diego, or Seattle.

Why This Team?
You’ll join a nationally recognized group that’s built to handle the most sophisticated data issues in the most competitive deals. If you're looking to work with future-defining companies and get deep into the weeds of data in motion, this team delivers.

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Base salary from $260,000 to $365,000 depending on class year.

  • Merit-based bonuses.

  • Market-leading benefits including IVF/adoption/surrogacy support, wellness reimbursements, mental health resources, generous parental leave, backup childcare, and more.
